Hi Pagey!

Some interesting parts you have there!

Not seen a gauge holder like that before, did you make it?

Which turbo did you go for?

Unusual mounting for the external wastegate - is that on an adaptor plate or part of the exhaust manifold?

Welcome Stuart, I love your description 'slightly' modified from your photos it looks like you have a serious bit of kit there! As others have already asked for your spec I await the details with great interest.

Hi Stuart and wttc.
Very nice spec'd car.


Kris, if you mean the 3 gauge and single gauge pods on the dash they're made by Ray at RTPerformance.

For the time being I’m running standard internals and plan to keep increasing power until failure. In the meantime I have a spear cylinder head which I am slowly rebuilding starting with sending to CNC heads for a complete rework followed by a HKS cam shafts, springs, valves, follows bla la bla.

The way I see it a fully forged engine is inevitable but I’m going to wait until engine failure before commencing full rebuild

I’m aiming for a reliable track / race car producing 400bhp with a very steady power and torque curve. I’m planning to race it in the Nippon Challenge this year.

Big thanks to Nito for letting me use his immaculate garage where the car has lived for the last year following turbo failure on our first ever track day. (1.3bar of boost on a standard turbo is too much for those wanting to know turbo failure boundaries) It made a lovely sound as the exhaust blades broke up and shot down the exhaust 

Hi Kris,

It’s an adaptor plate supplied by TB Developments which I must say was some piece of kit the custom fabrication was excellent would highly recommend.

The gauge holder to the centre console has been made by myself using the standard one and infilling the air vents and redundant stereo aperture then wrapping in 3M carbon wrap. The other pods were brought from RT Performance.

You were right, you've only 'slightly modified' your Four.......LOL Roll on the other mods!

Mr Stuart,

Don't forget the Impreza roof scoop and sunroof removal on your list of mods lol!!

Don't encourage him tracktoyfour lol, he's intent on blowing his engine up just to give him the excuse to go internal!! Hopefully that wont happen, still it should be fun, we'll be doing it methodically with all the gauges it's got fitted.

Nito

As you know where i live ive hid my shifter kit

yes i do ha ha. put some pictures up of it when you get it installed / working would be interrested to know how you get on with it. Your roll cage is now sat nicely in the corner of my unit collecting dust. Now i know what you mean - taking the dash out seems to much like hard work think i'm going to get someone to do it for me.
